A friend of mine (and fellow Stroller Strider) participated in the Moore UCSD cancer center walk this past weekend in honor of her Mother. Although I was unable to walk with her and her family I was able to watch some of the event on the news Saturday Morning.
The theme of this years walk was "personal best" and the speaker really touched a nerve with me. He simply asked the newscaster what she would rather have, a good nurse, surgeon, doctor or someone who every single day gives their personal best.
As I made my way through my day on Saturday I really pondered that concept. How often do I try to give less than 100% in something so that I can multitask and get more done? If you are anything like me you thrive in the fact that you can talking on the phone while driving, or watching the news while playing with your kids. But in the quest of getting more done in less time, who are you short changing?
Isn't it ironic that I expect nothing less than the personal best from the people in my life but very seldom give it?
